Due to the overwhelming response to attend the Palm Pre Launch Party, we regret that we are unable to accommodate your attendance.* However, please watch for an email from us on Friday with the inside scoop on how you can be among the first to buy on June 6th.* Thank you for your interest in the Palm Pre and we hope to see you at future Sprint events in your area.*

Sincerely,
The Sprint Premier Team

Oh well...let's see what I get tomorrow!

How are people getting this email????? I've signed up for everything, and got nothing!

No Premier Status for you
Oh well, I'm Premier and have not receive anything to buy the Pre early

I am thinking that I should be Premier...haven't had the chance to look back on bills...etc to see what my continuous balance has been and for how long. I have been a customer since 2000. I do know my balance for some time now has been $100+ a month.

Now maybe just maybe this is making sense. I got told by more then 1 store that I will need my Premier Customer email with me Saturday to get the Pre OR I will have to wait in line. I kept asking what email and two stores said the same thing. "Wait for it" . I was sure that it was bogus and still think it is. Guess we will find out tomorrow.

Interesting , I just got an email from Sprint . Mine is a little different.

Thank you for contacting Sprint regarding the pre-order for Palm Pre
handset. We really appreciate your interest in our new products.

We have been encouraging our Premier customers like you to pre-register
so they're sure to hear about the Palm Pre launch and availability.
Please go to sprint.com/pre to pre-register anytime before June 4 and
keep an eye on your email for more news in the days leading up to the
launch. It is the best option since it does not require any pre order

You may also want to know upgrade eligibility for the phones on your
account. Since you are a Premier customer, the primary line on your
account is eligible for an early upgrade every 12 months. All others are
eligible at 22 months.

I have forwarded your contact details to the department dealing with the
event. There are only 10 stores nationwide hosting these events. So
they'll need to see if there's one near you. If there is, you'll be
added to the "wait list" and contacted via email if a space opens up. If
there isn't a store near you, you'll be contacted with that information
as well.

11:29:09 PM John H Kleschinsky I read in a press release the following: "First to Know/First to Buy: Longstanding customers get an exclusive first peek at new products and services such as the upcoming Palm Pre™, and then are among the first with opportunities to purchase when they become available. "
11:29:42 PM Recole C I will be happy to assist you with that today.
11:36:17 PM Recole C The benefit of being a Premier Customer for this phone event is that in select areas premier customers were allowed to see the phone on June 5th. It is only in 10 stores nationwide so all Premier Customers weren't able to receive an invitation.
11:37:21 PM John H Kleschinsky Right I appreciate the limited availability, but it doesn't explain the Premier news release: "then are among the first with opportunities to purchase when they become available. "
11:38:15 PM John H Kleschinsky Now I know with the Instinct, Sprint did allow Premier members the ability to purchase early, so my question is: Why did Sprint get me all excited telling me I would be among the first to buy and then not follow through?
11:40:17 PM Recole C I do apologize for any confusion in the matter. I understand it would have been better if it was stated that random Premier Customers from specific areas would be able to have access to the phone on June 5th. For the June 5th event, there are only going to be Premier Customers allowed. 11:40:36 PM John H Kleschinsky Recole you and I are on the same page.
11:41:02 PM Recole C I can understand where you are coming from.
11:41:19 PM John H Kleschinsky Well I appreciate that.
11:41:32 PM Recole C So, I do apologize it wasn't done that way.
11:41:52 PM John H Kleschinsky Thank you. That's all I needed to hear.
11:42:37 PM Recole C It's no problem.

There you have it folks, an apology from Sprint... You're welcome.
